Blackout!

With realizing that I have been trying to make things fit, which cannot; I have come to the realization that I am completely over doing EVERYTHING in my life right now!

How can I tell???

Well the other day I was complaining (yes I will be honest that I was semi-whining) to my husband, about how much I hate my day jobs. "I want to do Tupperware, make handmade cards, party with people and stay home with our puppy. I am tired of working to the point of exhaustion for pittance a day!"
This was the night before and early in the morning before I left for work on Sunday.
I had rested all day Saturday and was feeling fully alert and ready to face the day. Little did I know, that on my way to work while driving, I would wake myself up (so to speak) to how much I really am overdoing it.

I came to in oncoming traffic.
With no idea how I ended up there or for how long I had been driving in that lane. I did not fall asleep and my eyes never closed. I was not daydreaming and I remained upright, while continuing to drive straight.
Basically, I blacked out, while driving!
Holy-mole, that was way too close and in the nic of time.
To sum it up, I was terrified!!!!

Right away I called my Husband and we agreed, I need to quit this other part time job.

So, I walked into work with all the intentions of giving my notice...then I changed my mind.
I put me on the back burner again!
Why?
Because of so many excuses (I mean reasons), that make perfect sense to me:

1. They really need me there. We already didn't have enough people to work shifts for people that need a day off and now somebody quit. Now I feel guilty if I quit; how will they cope? That isn't fair to the girls!
2. I work with a terrific bunch of ladies! We don't get paid what we are worth, for the job we do and yet we still smile while doing it and have fun. :)
3. I said that I would work there a while when they hired me and I like to keep my word.
4. I like them and do not want them to be upset, if I leave them in need.

Basically I am trying to force something that can't fit into my life right now.
I am overworking myself and underpaid. I have tons of stuff to do and rarely any help at home. Most importantly this isn't good for my health and ultimately, next time if I black out or maybe next time I might sleep at the wheel and literally never wake up.
This job could ultimately cost me my life!

What am I thinking!?!?
Why am I trying to force this. It's cost to me and those close to me is so high!?!
It is stupid!!!
I have to quit, I have to quit, I have to quit.....

Eventually I will actually say it to my employer, right?

I will update you later with the progress.

Until then... Is there anything you are doing in your life right now, which doesn't quite fit, but you are tryng to force it at a great cost to you or those you love?

Welcome to My New Life!

You might be wondering why I chose to call everything I do related to my Tupper-biz, Shape-Olife?

So I thought that would be a good place to start, and especially to explain what I will be blogging on here about.

In the past two years, I have been through a lot of difficult times. There has been tragedies, major changes, health issues and problems with relationships.

Through all of these difficult times, my Husband David and I have been faithful to keeping our marriage going strong and it has really laid a strong foundation for our future. For other pieces in my life, I have been trying to make things fit, that truly just never could.

• Firstly, I have tried to continue to eat the same high calorie meals as my Husband (you know, the ones where he looses weight and I gain more). Which means I have gained lots of weight back and ALL fat. Trust me, not a single muscle left in this body! lol
• Second, I have been trying to make friends here with people that live their lives different to my beliefs and values. I thought it could work anyway, with similar interests in common. However, despite my attempts...some relationships, just aren't worth the headaches.
• Third, I have been stressing over not being able to have my own children, and trying to fit people in my life that have kids and do not appreciate them at the same time. That has proved painful and has caused unnecessary stress, bitterness and anger.

What for!?!
No more!!!

Then Tupperware came into my life, through a wonderful person (also my Upline) Heather. I have been around Tupperware all my life and have always wanted it in my kitchen. People we know had brought up Tupperware recently, but they were only into feeding their own interests and so we decided to wait. There would be someone out there that was a better fit to be our Consultant, right?

And there was!

When we least expected it, we met Heather at a Trade Show. My Husband and I never seem to agree 100% on anything, but on having Heather be our consultant we did.
So we booked a show and I loved the product, the people and the biz so much...I decided to stay.
With staying, I realized while trying to think of what I wanted my business to represent in its name, that it needed to be the Shape-O Ball. I wanted it to represent that life can be like a Shape-O Ball:
It can be fun, colorful, ever changing, and if you set it up to only accept the things that fit perfectly in your life...you can be happier and more successful in all aspects of life (such as family, health, fitness, and wealth).

So here I am, shooting for the highest goals in Tupperware and all aspects of my life.
This new opportunity is giving me the boost I needed to get back out there and interact with people, and dream again.

If you let it, life can be a "ball" too!

So follow my blog and share your  weight loss journey, recipes, life style changes, dreams (which are goals with flair) and hope with everyone.

Together, we can achieve anything! :)

Blessings,
Cora
